It's a great accomplishment for them but, welcome to 40 years ago. It's not really all that impressive. Those disrespectful condescending announcers apparently haven't noticed the hundreds of milestones NASA has continuously accomplished. Landing vehicles on Mars, deep space objects beyond the solar system, landing on an asteroid .. on and on.
Congratulations. You did a spacewalk. You waved the flag. But you guys are a bit late for the space race so maybe spend more time focusing on your own shit and less time bashing America. Douchebags.

I meant scumbags.
can't speak for fjnbk of course, but for me the impression is that you're answering the chinese flagwaving with american flagwaving.
but hey, i'm all for more education in math & science here in the states. aren't you?
and i also agree that we're too focused on being a service economy.
also, note in the midst of "bashing america", that china is watching our debates. many without translation. we're the reason they speak english, as much as england is the reason we do. besides, everyone knows what we did first. and what russia did first, with the help of a dozen satellite nations. and what half of europe has since done. let 'em have their moment in the sun. it means more contribution to the ISS, too!
plus, if you look real close?
it says Made in China on the side. har de har har.
"This is simply unbelievable ..."

+1'd your comment to try to even it up, thanks for having the bravado do call this for what it is.
You are absolutely correct and kudos to Crake as well for pointing out that the government had mistakenly sent out a press release confirming the success of the mission, a step-by-step analysis of the launch and even some dialogue before it had even occurred!
I hope those "lunar landing" conspiracy theorists take this video with a kilo of salt. If anyone is conceited enough to fake footage (so it looks "good"), it has to be the Chinese.
Everyone realizes they just bought blueprints of Russian equipment and bankrolled a knockoff, right?
Secondly, if you actually watched the entire video and yet somehow feel the need to defend the things those announcers said (which was the reason behind my post in the first place) that says a lot more about you than it does about me. I doubt you even listened to the whole thing.
Beyond that, I don't know what crawl you're talking about. NASA has done some pretty amazing things since the 60's .. too numerous to list here, besides the fact that the first privately funded rocket to reach orbit was just launched yesterday by Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) which is an American company.
Lastly, I have no idea what you're talking about with the money/war bullshit. I guess you support them invading Tibet too.
